The money raised by candidates over a ten week period is used by LLS to fund research seeking cures and better therapies, and to provide information and support so that patients have the best possible outcomes throughout their cancer experience.
The two winners of the Miami Man & Women of the Year competition will go on to compete for the National Title of Man & Woman of the Year, an honor surrounded with a great deal of fanfare, including a full-page ad in USA Today, but the most important reason candidates participate is for families like this year’s Boy and Girl of the Year, Alex Aguilera and Victoria Mejia. Alex and Victoria are local children who are survivors of blood cancers and who are sources of inspiration.
